The Toronto MQG membership has grown quickly over the past year and interest in joining our fun guild keeps building. After careful analysis of our current meeting space and the subsequent feedback from our last meeting, we realized a larger meeting space was in order. An exhaustive search was conducted and we're happy to report that we'll be moving to a new home this September!

Trinity-St Paul's United Church, Dance Studio

427 Bloor Street West (west of Spadina)

Spadina TTC subway station; GreenP and street parking nearby

**NEW DAY** LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH!!

September 24, 2017

**NEW TIME** 3:30 - 5:30 pm

A great supporter of the arts, Trinity-St. Paul is a vibrant community hub that has been serving the local and extended neighbourhood for more than 125 years. Today, it's home to 60 organizations – cultural, educational, religious, recreational, community and social service groups. And we're looking forward to being a part of its scene!

Many of you have expressed an interest in joining the Toronto MQG. Unfortunately, our membership was closed while we worked out our space issues. Securing our new home for September means our membership is now open for business!

As a special offer (and reward for your patience!) a combined 2017-2018 membership fee of $50 will be available to new members until December. Joining the Toronto MQG has many benefits, including access to all the perks of the greater MQG. Come join the fold here!

A special thank you to The Workroom

A debt of gratitude goes to Karyn Valino and The Workroom. Since our guild's beginnings, The Workroom has been a faithful supporter and gracious host of our meetings. We will miss that welcoming cookie jar and being within touching distance of such beautifully curated fabric! That said, we will continue to hold workshops, special events and guild shopping events at its new space.

We know summer's not over yet (has it even started?) but we're already looking forward to autumn!

Our June meeting was held on the first Sunday this month at The Workroom’s new shop & studio space. Heavy on guild biz (a mini-AGM of sorts!), the Executive went through bylaw amendments and proposals were discussed.

This meeting's agenda was definitely a multi-pager and getting through its items within two hours was no mean feat. Those in attendance got to enjoy a plentiful Show & Share, a great presentation on paper piecing (and June's Block Lotto), door prizes, and some sweet treats.

Need some inspiration to finish up those pesky UFOs? Our June workshop is the perfect class to expand your quilting options right on your domestic machine.

Start pulling those bright, floral FQs from your stash as Spring is definitely in the air! This month’s gathering featured a spray of fresh sunny quilts and an enjoyable recap of this year’s QuiltCon from members who were lucky enough to attend.

Since our usual meeting place at The Workroom Studio was packing up and moving to much larger digs, our February meeting was held at the Yonge/Eglinton branch of the Toronto Public Library. And although many of you were whooping it up at QuiltCon in Savannah, we were 30 strong, including 10 guests!
